Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is planning to procure laboratory services to support the delivery of the HPV primary screening pathway within the NHS Cervical Screening Programme. This Prior Information Notice (PIN) relates to a contract expected to begin on 1st July 2019, with a potential duration of up to 7 years, including an option for a 2-year extension. The procurement process is classified as open and is currently in the planning stage, with a future notice anticipated to be published on 15th November 2018. The services will address needs across various regions of the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others, and fall under the health and social work services category.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for growth for qualified healthcare service providers, particularly those from the third sector and social enterprises. Businesses capable of providing laboratory services for the NHS will find a unique chance to engage in a critical public health initiative aimed at screening eligible women aged 25 to 64. As the project team is still finalising geographical footprints, there remains a substantial potential for interested bidders to establish themselves as key service providers within the NHS framework, especially as the demand for such services is likely to remain high.

Notice Title

Prior Information Notice (PIN) relating to the Procurement for the Provision of Laboratory services to support the delivery of the HPV primary screening pathway within the NHS Cervical Screening Programme

Notice Description

Contract duration: 5 years + (one 2 years extension possible subject to annual reviews) = 7 years Contract value: The Commissioner(s) are commissioning the service described within below sections for the first time. As a result, for now the Commissioners are not able to confirm the annual agreement value for the service provision resultant of this procurement. Contract commencement date: As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful Bidder(s) for a period of 5 years with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract once for a further 2 years. It is anticipated that contracts resultant from this procurement will commence from 1st July 2019 with a view that laboratory service providers will ensure full geographical coverage of HPV primary screening within the NHS Cervical Screening Programme is achieved by December 2019. However, successful Provider(s) will have the opportunity to mobilise services from the date of contract award with full geographical coverage of HPV primary screening within the NHS Cervical Screening Programme required across the eligible population within each Lot by December 2019. Description of the procurement opportunity: NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands CSU (AGCSU) on behalf of NHS England (the Commissioner) invites expressions of interest (EOI) from suitably qualified healthcare service providers including third sector organisations, social enterprises and other providers to provide laboratory services to support the delivery of the HPV primary screening pathway within the NHS Cervical Cancer Screening Programme (NHSCSP). The service provision will cater for eligible women within the age range of 25 to 64 years. Albeit limited in number, the service provision will also cover some women aged 241/2 and over 65 years of age. For further information regarding this procurement, please see the documents attached with this notice. Additional information: Potential bidders are advised to note that the project team is still in process of finalising the footprints/geographical areas and therefore unfortunately we are not able to share information pertaining to that subject. Full details regarding the footprints will be provided within the Invitation To Tender (ITT) documents. We are hoping that ITT will be published during the November 2018.
